# Add participants from a screener to a study

If you've used a Dscout screener to recruit participants, you can add those participants to a study when you're ready to hear more from them.

Here are some things to keep in mind when adding participants from a screener to a study.

* Participants added to **draft studies** will be invited when the study is launched.
* Participants added to **launched studies** will be invited immediately.
* **Partner Panels participants** can only be added to one Dscout study.
* Participant cannot be added manually to **intercept studies**, which recruit based on live behavior.

**To add participants from a screener to a study:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Responses** tab of your screener.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the study you want to add your participants to. Then, click **Invite**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If a participant has already been added to a study, that study is greyed out/unavailable.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Launched diary and interview studies only)** Verify or edit the invite message for your study. Then, click **Send x invites**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** For diary studies with data translation enabled, you'll be prompted to enter your invite message in both English and your selected language.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, your selected participants are added to your study. If you've yet to launch your study, these participants will automatically be invited when you do launch it. If you've already launched your study, the participants will receive invitations to participate immediately.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/recruit-participants/what-are-dscout-screeners/add-participants-from-a-screener-to-a-study.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
